ZIM2
Overview
ZIM2 (zinc finger imprinted 2) encodes a Kruppel-type zinc finger protein involved in genomic imprinting. It is located in the imprinted region on chromosome 19q13.4. ZIM2 was identified as a significantly mutated gene in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, potentially linking imprinting dysregulation to PDAC pathogenesis.
